In essence, bulk bitumen necessitates a vessel with a minimum capacity of 1000 metric tonnes. Thorough knowledge about the vessel's capabilities is crucial, assessing its suitability for transportation, dock entry, and loading at the origin.
Bulk bitumen transportation entails trucks to collect the bitumen cargo from the Iraq Altaqa BPP, transferring it to the bulk vessel at the port. Upon arrival at the destination, another bitumen truck takes up the cargo, delivering it either to the project site or a bitumen storage facility.
Bulk vessels usually accommodate three to thirty thousand tons of liquid bitumen. Generally, a smaller vessel with a three-thousand metric ton capacity might load in 24 to 96 hours, which equates to 1 to 4 days. Larger vessels, with capacities of up to thirty thousand metric tons, follow a similar loading timeframe.
Bulk transportation capacity hinges on project requirements. Various factors such as project conditions, location, and usage dictate the capacity needed.
